How To Find Your Voice with Monica Ramirez
Manage episode 378292492 series 3453069
After speaking up about an issue impacting farm workers in her community when she was 14, Monica Ramirez found her voice. But the road to being heard was much longer. Nely spoke to Monica after her letter, "700,000 Female Farmworkers Say They Stand With Hollywood Actors Against Sexual Assault" was published in Time Magazine in 2017, went viral, and sparked the Time's Up movement. Monica tells Nely about the death threats she received due to her work, the chapter of her life when she couldn't afford housing, and the fight for farm workers she has continued, unwavering, throughout. Monica's journey is a powerful one— one that we should celebrate during Hispanic Heritage Month, and always.
